Football Tips: Potters Corner provides some light relief

THE NHS were the big winners on Saturday as the Virtual Grand National went off without a fuss.

It was just a bit of fun in a world without very little entertainment and bookies reported average stakes of £2 so everyone kept it sensible and of course profits went to charity.

I thought Tiger Roll would win for a hat-trick and that would have been a headline maker but it was Potters Corner who took the honour with the favourite placing.

Again the Belarus games didn't go to plan with two out of three short-priced favourites losing and I won't be having a punt on Sunday's games at Bgu Minsk, Vitebsk and Isloch.

Well done to any winners on Saturday and good luck to those having a bet on Sunday as Belarus is joined by week one of the Tajikstan league.

On the pools there were again eight score draws and from my selections I picked four out of eight which was again a decent effort but remember it's like doing the lottery so don't play it for seriously stakes.

Isloch v slutsk. Isloch have only lost 2 out of 18 home games, slutsk lost 4 from 5 aways, isloch last 6 at home scored exactly 1 goal and last 2 matches were 1-0, slutsk lost last match 1-0. Isloch a bit short at 3/4 but 1-0 is 18/5 also on isloch and under 2.5mg at 21/10. Not much else to bet on so il be on all 3

There have been several comments making reference to well paid footballers making a contribution (financial) in these extraordinary times we find ourselves…

Whilst I would say in the ‘short term’ it would be a great gesture, it is actually in their (collective) interest for how they will be though of, when all this is over…

However, I think footballers are a bit of an easy target and there are others that could make a much bigger impact, but no-one ever seems to mention. The 2019 Rich List shows Britain’s 1,000 richest individuals and families hold a record wealth of £771.3 billion. I’m pretty sure they could afford to throw a few bob into the hat?

One thing that CV19 has brought into focus is that it is a global problem and the only way we will ever sort this old world out is to address the fundamental balance between the haves and the have nots.

The problem isn’t so much the footballers not contributing,it’s the clubs themselves putting the common 158 worker who earn minimum wage on furlough while they’re still paying footballers £100,000 or so a week. Why not just subsidise the non playing staff with money from within the club ie players/boardroom salaries ?…if anyone doesn’t think this is wrong they need to give their head a wobble.

Dan Levy took a £7m bonus for building a stadium,could have paid the non playing staff from that little nest egg but that’s as fanciful as my hair growing back

Great Mr Fixit. You have been doing well on your pools picks. As you pinpointed, your selections last week were out early. Although, I didn’t see it, please, let this week be as early as that. Thanks

The 3 Belarus games
Over 4.5 cards
33/20
2 POINTS

Cards continue to flow in this league and landed in all 3 yesterday, decent chance today too.

Watched the whole game Greg and having watched quite a few of these Belarus games now I can safely say that Energetik team is by some distance the best side in the league. Really positive play again. Even when they went a man down. Will be backing them from now on.

Watched a considerable amount of games myself and I gotta agree with that, they look very good indeed while the likes of Bate who I guess are faves for the title have been abysmal. Energetik play Torpedo next weekend and the price of 12/5 for the win doesn’t look bad at all considering there excellent start. Bate are again odds on and may be worth opposing as well.

Glad you agree Kyle as it reinforces my opinion.
Will be all over that at 12/5 as well as double chance. None of the other sides have impressed for me at all. 👍

Well done on the Red mate, they are dirty gits this Vitebsk side nearly took his head off 😂

Cheers guys.
Ill take it harsh or not!

The red in the previous game was harsh also, both bookings were soft for me. Lots of other dirty plsy goes on which is harder to see. Lots of flying elbows. Crouchy would be proud.

More dangerous than the high boot that the Undertaker performed on AJ Styles on that rooftop last night anyway!

Afternoon gents,

Walter Feretti Youth back in action and quite like the price for 4 or more…low stakes stuff again but they are consistent games for goals and this will be 5 winners on the bounce which, given the cards, I’ll take all day long.

Yeah Macca was surprised, only stuck a quid on it as thought was highly unlikely all 3 would land but there you go

Well my isloch prediction got blown out the water but 3 matches and 3 red cards wow. Doubles and a treble wish i had more than 8quid. Defo cards the way to go with this league

All about picking the right games though Belarus like any other league, noticed there was only 5 Yellows in the 2 games on Friday for example. Unlucky with the Isloch bet, I thought they would edge that game prematch.

Walters ferrets are usually good for a goal at home having failed to net just once in last 10 homes and that was v leaders Managua, and come up against a solid esteli outfit who have conceded more often than normal away recently (11 in 13).

Prediction 1-1.

CHEERS MACCA, JUST SEEN RESULT 🙌

****CORRECTION ****
my bet from earlier has now been confirmed as a 6-5 win after game 2 vanished in play at half time 🙈.
